Yes, a comma is generally needed when a subordinate clause begins with a subordinate conjunction. The comma is used to separate the subordinate clause from the main clause.
Although there are many subordinate conjunctions, the most common are "and", "but", and "or". A subordinate conjunction connects a subordinate clause (a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence) to a main clause (a complete sentence).
"After I finish my homework" (time subordinate clause) "Because she loves to travel" (cause subordinate clause) "Who is sitting by the window" (relative subordinate clause) "That he had spoken to earlier" (indirect statement subordinate clause)
A dependent clause is called a subordinate clause because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on an independent clause to form a complete thought. The subordinate clause adds extra information to the independent clause, but cannot function independently.
That is an independent clause. It would be a subordinate clause if you said, "I would like to know who...."
There isn't a difference between a subordinate clause and a subordinate clause.

"After the bridge collapsed" is the subordinate clause. It begins with "after", a subordinate conjunction, and it cannot stand alone as a sentence. A subordinate clause is also called a dependent clause.
A subordinate independent clause is a type of clause that has both dependent and independent qualities. It can function independently as a complete sentence but is usually part of a larger sentence and relies on another clause for context or meaning. This type of clause often begins with a subordinating conjunction.
A preposition is a part of speech used to show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. It typically indicates location, direction, time, or the relationship between nouns or pronouns.

Subordinate clauseA subordinate (or dependent) clause is a clause that needs another clause. Unlike independent clauses it cannot stand alone. The word because is usually a good indicator of a subordinate clause.
If you have the subordinate clause before the main clause, you write a comma. However, the rules are a bit different for relative pronouns connecting main and subordinate clause.

A main clause = it is independent, i.e. it does not depend on any other sentence. A subordinate clause = a sentence depending on/subordinated to a another sentence, either a main clause or another subordinate clause. (you ask the main clause a question and you answer with the subordinate). e.g. "Can you tell me/ (the main clause) when the book was written?" ( the subordinate clause = a Direct Object). or "This is the book/ that I told you about". (the second clause is an Attributive or a Relative Clause). or If she had know this, / she wouldn't have trusted him." (the first sentence is an If Clause or a Conditional).
there is no subordinate conjunction (because, after, therefore, even though, etc) so it is not a subordinate clause. if you look at it and it could be a complete sentence on it's own and make sense, it's not a subordinate clause.
A subordinate clause has a verb and another sentence within it.../././././././././.
